</div>I'm skeptical that a plugin, no matter how good, can really model a piece<br>
of vintage gear. As an example, Universal Audio has a plugin that models<br>
their famous LA3A compressor. This is a piece of gear that has an almost<br>
mythic standing in the world of analog audio processing, and not without<br>
reason. I've seen them in use, and it really was a nice compressor. But<br>
can you get that buttery compression goodness replicated in a digital mode?<br>
I tend to think not. I believe there's a lot of subtle stuff happening in<br>
the analog compressor that just isn't going to make it into a digital model.<br>
That said, UA's plugin might be very, very good, but is it $149 good? It<br>
isn't likely to be for me.<br>

<br>
</div>More likely they're paying to license the use of the original product's<br>
name and add an aura of authenticity. If you've ever looked at a Line 6<br>
modeling guitar amp, they'll have names like "Brit" to refer to a model of<br>
a Vox amp. I imagine some lawyer would get rather testy if they came right<br>
out and labelled the model as "Vox".<br>

<br>
</div>I've been really happy with the assortment of LADSPA plugins available.<br>
The SCn compressors are very nice, and I can't see myself getting $149<br>
worth of value out of an official L3A3 compressor plugin.<br>
<br>
That's my take, anyway.<br>
